DAD IS NOT A NOUN

On this episode the two things I love is hip-hop & fantasy fiction. Creator D.D. Turner & Chaz Stats merge the two to gives us The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend, Paths of Grand Wizardry back in 2010 .  A novel about an extraordinary teen with an extraordinary destiny. I hope you enjoyed  Chapter 1 & 2& 3 & 4 !!!  Here is Chapter 5: The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend details the story of a young Cris Alexander Ellison, whom with great pride, overtly claims and supports the culture of Hip Hop. Unbeknownst to Cris, he has a direct genealogical link to an ancient, African, prophetic tribe said to have sown the seeds for the Hip Hop ideal some several thousand years ago. As a result of this unique link to the past, Cris finds himself the sole holder of the freeing key that will release a current Hip Hop from its dwindling existence and place it back on the golden path of resurgence. But up against Roger "Feedback" Cromwell and his Hip Hop for Destruction clan, this will prove to be no easy task. tcohhl #affirmationmatters #representationmatters #dadisnotanoun #dinan #dadisntanoun #DaDNotNoun #podcast #dinan #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #changethenarrative #changingthenarrative #blerdlife #blerd #fresh #dope #hicreativitypodcast #hicreativity #hiphop #fresh #goodmorning #throwbackthursday #tbt #2022 #happynewyear

GROW TO BUILD HIPHOP CULTURE UGANDA and Kulture Future Kids (KFK) was started by Sean Sisa Mc, whose mission is to better the lives of children in the slum areas of Uganda. GROW TO BUILD is a hip hop education organization that is sustained by volunteer artists from the Ugandan Hip Hop community. They work together growing to teach and support children to go to school.

Kulture Future Kids currently receives funding from donations to GROW TO BUILD HIPHOP CULTURE UGANDA pay for children’s mainstream school fees as well as art materials and equipment to run Hip Hop and art workshops. KFK, through Hip Hop, will help children and youth increase their self-esteem, learn self-control and discipline and increase their creativity through dancing and music. Kulture Future Kids will help develop skills, knowledge and confidence to succeed in school, work and community. The children and youth will feel empowered and inspired to carry their new found skills in everyday life.

On this Episode of Dad Is Not A Noun I want to share the story of Esther Fordham..

Thank you Frank Fitzgerald for allowing me to share interview with Esther Fordham.

Esther Fordham was a Black woman who, born October 9, 1925 in Hamburg, Germany, came of age during the Nazi era. In this December, 1995 conversation with artist Frank Fitzgerald, Esther discusses her youth, schooling and the reaction of classmates and adult Germans to her specialness. As world conditions darken and war grows to become the norm, she finds discrimination, fear, sorrow and horror, but also generosity and hope.

After the bombings cease, amid the rubble Esther meets and marries an American soldier. Giving birth in an Army hospital, she wonders why she has a whole maternity ward to herself. Later, living in America, she slowly learns about prejudice, segregation and lynchings.

Throughout all, Esther Anumu Fordham strives to see “people as human beings” and succeeds.

In 1997, after having raised a family and worked 20+ years for an airline, Esther retired and returned to Germany. She lived to be 94 years old.

Two 8mm “home movies” made of Esther’s nursery class outings to New York’s Central Park may be of interest. She can be heard and seen briefly in each –
